29 July
God said to me: “Do you see the world how I see the world?” After this pandemic and after doing ministry in a limited way, God has refreshed my view of how I see the world and people. He has helped me to see people how He sees people. No matter if they are Roma or Romanians, poor or rich, Jesus wants me to see them as souls that need His salvation.
I have been involved in:
- Daily, whether online or in personal meetings, I present Jesus in Craiova and the Oltenia region.
- Weekly I encourage the missionaries.
- I coordinate our E2E missionary training program.
- I started a new series of sermons called “Meetings with Jesus.”
- I was helping the poor by delivering food and clothing.
It’s all about bringing Jesus to the people and here are some reactions from them:
Laura, 13 yrs old, after being exposed to Biblical teaching said: “Jesus makes a difference between those who belong to Him and those who don’t.”
Celia, 13 yrs old, said: “My eyes were opened to see how beautiful life with Jesus is.”
After 6 months of weekly meetings with her, Emilia, a 35 year old medical student, said: “I have become dependent on God.”
After visiting our Sunday morning church gatherings for a few months, Laurentiu, a 42 yr old police officer said: “Coming to your church weekly has helped me get closer to God.”
Praise reports:
- God answered our prayers and sent a church to help us with half of the money that we need for our ministry center for the next 6 months.
- Even though last month I had a car accident as I was delivering the message of Jesus and food to some poor people, God answered my prayers and I received the whole amount that I needed to get another car. (from the insurance company and my supporters.)
- I can see more and more how God is building trust between the community and our church in the city of Craiova.
- This month we received our first international short term team after over a year of no international teams.
Prayer requests:
- In the first part of August, we will have 2 major events. One for youth and one for adults. Please pray for those that will attend to experience Jesus.
- We have a World Race group that is doing almost daily evangelism with our missionaries. Please pray for many souls to be saved.
- Pray for another baptism that we plan to have by the end of the year with those that have chosen to follow Jesus.
- Continue to pray for Samy and Sebi to get more supporters.
May the Lord continue to lead you in the work you have been given from the Lord Jesus!
